Hartford Hospital has been ranked #1 in the Hartford metro area and among the best in Connecticut for 2018-19 by U.S. News & World Report.
The annual U.S. News Best Hospitals rankings, now in its 29th year, recognize hospitals that excel in treating the most challenging patients. This year, Hartford Hospital ranks in two specialties and four procedures.
“It is an honor to be recognized as the best in the region yet again,” said Bimal Patel, president, Hartford Hospital; senior vice president, Hartford HealthCare. “Our commitment and reputation for excellence is cemented in the region thanks to the dedication of each Hartford Hospital staff member. Every day this team delivers the best possible care in the safest and most compassionate way. Our journey to excellence is a team effort, and we are so thankful to our staff and the patients who trust us with their care.”
U.S. News & World Report recently changed its methodology making it much more difficult to receive the “High Performing” recognition. The new methodology recognizes the best of the best.
